L’expertise à l’épreuve d’une controverse environnementale et sanitaire : la production des savoirs et des ignorances à propos des PCB du Rhône (France)

The objective of this article is to reflect on the history of PCB alerts in France since the 1980s in order to identify physical, social and political reasons which explain why these chemical compounds are still the object of lively controversies, despite having been banned. After recalling the circ...
